It's liability, too. Everyone tags on "x" percent, just to cover their
perceived risks.


And with our judicial system (read "jurors") handing out rewards of $480
MILLION for a crash (that the guy lived through)....I can understand why
they'd want that coverage. (I understand its been overturned recently
though, thank God)......

(this is where our resident lawyer Larry gets to pipe in about it being
"fair"

Biggest problem with money and flying is that if you say "I'm a pilot", the
general public thinks you must be rich. I can buy a sub-$20k airplane and
my best friend can spend $30k for a new bass boat. But who do you think Joe
Average will think has the most money?
